Match Prediction: Heidenheim vs. Augsburg
The hosts have yet to earn points this season and even at home, they appear weak. Heidenheim primarily suffers from numerous defensive errors: in their last 12 home league matches, they have kept a clean sheet only once, and that was against Bochum, who were relegated last season. Moreover, they have conceded at least two goals in nine of those matches.
Augsburg hasn't had a successful start to the season either, but they have been effective in attack. Even away from home, the team scores regularly: in their last 14 away Bundesliga games, Augsburg failed to score in only three instances. Furthermore, in six matches during this period, the players scored at least two goals.
I think the visitors will capitalize on Heidenheim's defensive issues and put in a strong offensive performance. My prediction: Augsburg Individual Total Over 1
